    I believe Nintendo may have the copyright. :) Perhaps they could make another portable game unit, but it's unlikely they'll call it a gameboy. And before you ask, PSP is already taken too.

    This. They've already stated that they're not interested in the handheld market and would prefer to see Windows Phone 7 become their mobile platform.

    I've had an Omnia 7 since Christmas and I must say the Live integration is great. The games available have been a mix of ports of other high profile mobile games such as Fruit Ninja and Flight Control, WP7 versions of existing XBLA games like Ilomilo and Hexic and also some games created specifically for WP7 such as The Harvest. These all come with leaderboards, achievements etc.. and it all plugs in quite nicely to your existing XBL experience.
